Balance Your Soil With Lime Applications

Liming is the practice of applying an agent to reduce soil acidity (raise the pH level) and make soil more favorable for turfgrass growth.

Reduce your soil acidity!

Soil pH is a measurement of the soil’s alkalinity or acidity. pH is measured on a scale of 0-14, with 7 being considered neutral. Anything below 7 is considered acidic and anything above 7 is considered alkaline. The grass in the PA, NJ and DE tri-state area prefers a slight acidic soil, a desired pH range for our grass types is a pH of 6.0- 7.0.

Why Do PA, NJ, and DE Experience Acidic Soil?

dark soil that needs limeOur market naturally has acidic soils. We have performed thousands of pH readings as well as analytical soil tests validating this fact. There are several factors for why the northeast experiences acidic soils.

In the northeast we get a high rate of annual rainfall. Rainfall naturally causes loss of nutrients such as magnesium and calcium that would otherwise help buffer soil pH.  We also experience acidic rainfall due to air pollutants which impacts the soils pH and there is organic matter common to our market that decays causing the production of hydrogen ions responsible for soil acidity.

For all these reasons we recommend an annual lime service. These applications are intended to maintain an optimum soil pH for grass growth. The benefits of a managed soil pH is that it enhances the availability of essential plant nutrients, better rooting of plants, improved soil structure as well as an increase in soil microorganisms.

I didn't have interaction with the tech today. I was home, but did not know he was here. All good, but techs usually announce themselves.

Perfect timing before the heavy rain. I believe the rain washed everything in rather than out.

The service and quality continues to be great, but the technician at times does not place the notification sign/flag that the lawn has been treated. This has happened on and off for the last several treatments and with different technicians.
